[Verse 1]
Every time you look my way
You show a lie in what you say
Every time you look my way
You talk a rhyme called purple haze

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
You're not at all like then

[Verse 2]
The smartest girl out on the strip
You really know just how to be hip
Tellin' stories 'bout your crazy trip
Messin' with stars and doing tricks

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
It's not at all like then

[Verse 3]
Big glass house on the hill
Doing dope and ditchin' school
Yesterday, Bruce Barry was here
A wild kid I thought was cool
[Chorus]
Close your eyes and pretend
This is how it should end

[Verse 4]
Cinderella of the night
Doesn't know her left from right
She's so hungry for a bite
Forgetting her friends fork and knife
Don't you know who's keeping score?
Who's that barking at your door?

[Bridge]
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear
That was then, this is not
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear a little bit
Hold tight and fear
That was then, this is not

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Every time you look my way
Remember a girl who used to say
Hold me tight anyway
It's okay, it's only play

[Outro]
I remember in the dark
Where I came from for a lark
